SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal judge has upheld a gay judge's ruling to strike down California's same-sex marriage ban.
Chief U.S. District Judge James Ware said Tuesday that former Chief Judge Vaughn Walker did not have to divulge whether he wanted to marry his own gay partner before he declared last year that voter-approved Proposition 8 was unconstitutional.

And the French just outlawed.
“And the French just outlawed.”
The end is near when the French start showing more common sense than us.
So what next? The California voters passed a constitutional amendment to block gay marriage and a federal judge can just invalidate it? Is the homo judge’s ruling being appealed on other grounds? I hope this isn’t the end of the line.

Common sense, normalcy and the will of the people lose again!
No suprise here as the Federal judiciary has long shown a favoritism towards the criminal element in our society.
That’s exactly it. The people spoke and the activist judiciary over-rides them.
You are 100% correct. As a 'Judge', he had to be completely neutral in the decision; which was impossible, as he had a vested personal interest in his decision.

The game is rigged my friends.
A federal judge on Tuesday upheld a gay judge’s ruling to strike down California’s same-sex marriage ban.
Don’t people read articles before commenting any more?.................
-from the article:
Ware called it the first case in which a judge's same-sex relationship had led to calls for disqualification. He said there probably were similar struggles when race and gender were the issues.The ruling does not settle the legal fight over Proposition 8. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering whether Walker properly concluded that denying gays and lesbians the right to marry violates their rights to due process and equal protection.
In his ruling, Ware cited previous cases dealing with women and minority judges in concluding that his predecessor had acted appropriately.
Then, by that logic, no judge would ever have to recuse themselves.
Except that race and gender are NOT the same and sexual behavior. By his reasoning a judge that’s a pedophile would not have to recuse themselves in a pedophile case. Or for any other behavior. This judge just declared that genetic qualities equals behavior.
